Xfce4 and LXQT examples
for Nemesis 3.5
You will have to use a full persistence save changes method for this or create a module with your changes
For Nemesis keyring and update issues go here (original part moved):

Manjaro keyring
To update anything in arch/manjaro you have to update key signatures (security for package signing), and for AUR certificates also.
There are 2 possible needed keyring packages, but I am not sure why, maybe there has to be some kind of arch repository communication somewhere, or AUR certification, I am not sure.
Multiple Desktop Environments at log-in screen selection
You can use multiple environments by editing lxdm.conf file in /etc/lxdm, you can install and include all the environments you want.
If you need the auto login just set only the time you will see the login screen with the option not to hide available sessions.
example:
Code: Select all
autologin=guest
timeout=30
Code: Select all
## default session or desktop used when no systemwide config
session=/usr/bin/startlxde
#session=/usr/bin/startxfce4
you can use
Code: Select all
lxdm-config
but it seems auto login cannot be deactivated either way, probably there is an other global config that changes this always to autologin=guest
I was able to use the minimal openbox standalone this way
https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/LXDM_Configuration
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LXDM
The manjaro lxdm has some options already there (predefined and auto-generated):
1. LXDE
2. XFCE SESSION
3. LXQT
4. KDE/Openbox
5. Openbox (Standalone)
If you use Openbox (Standalone) you can use lxpanel to run the LXDE panel if you want, as it is already there. You can config it independately of LXDE.
The openbox menu is not currently auto updated (lxpanel is ok)

There could be more installed, like KDE, JWM etc. but not tested.
edit: JWM also installed and seems to work:
Code: Select all
pman -S jwm jwm-documentation jwmconf jwmtools manjaro-jwm-settings
select desktop environment at your login screen...
enjoy!
